Previously known as the Houston School for Deaf Children, it was given its current name, after a deaf girl, in 1997.[15] The girl died of leukemia circa 1958; a former student of the school, she had been the first area deaf child to be mainstreamed into a public school, as she began attending one in Texas City in 1954. Her father, Frank Webb, donated $1 million to what became the Melinda Webb School in 2002.[14] That year its enrollment was 35-40.[15] In 2020 it began admitting preschool students without hearing difficulties to provide a more mainstream environment.[13]
